Anti-Forensics Definition: Anti-forensics covers techniques like log wiping, timestomping, and encryption that attackers use to defeat digital forensic investigation and analysis.
Anti-forensics refers to techniques attackers use to obstruct, mislead, or defeat digital forensic investigation and incident response. Common methods include log deletion and tampering, timestamp manipulation known as timestomping, data wiping, encryption, steganography, and the use of memory-only or fileless malware to avoid leaving disk artifacts. The goal is to destroy evidence, hinder attribution, or extend dwell time before detection.
Anti-Forensics is one of the topics you'll master in the CySA+ Boot Camp.
